Turns out I'd failed to turn on evdev in the 32-bit kernels on this machine, so I guess it was falling back to the built-in config after discarding the unusable xorg.conf I'd offered it.
Found it by noticing you were using /dev/input/by-path instead of /dev/input/event* so I took a look there and realised I only had i8042-serio-1-mouse (the old PS/2 serial mouse driver). I noticed you use evdev for the keyboard, but the old mouse driver for the mouse. If I again get storms of mouse events I might try that as a workaround. Meanwhile, /dev/input/by-path looks an easier way of identifying the devices than parsing the event numbers from /proc/bus/input/devices. My keyboard is still lacking some functionality (no autorepeat on left-arrow and down-arrow, and no "extras" on AltGr), but I also seem to have some locales issues which might be connected to the problem.(e.g. started firefox from an xterm, got a 'Locale not supported by C library' error from gtk+. [ the build is from my "mostly-6.4, with newer kernel headers, newer man-db and gdbm" scripts, so I'll be on my own when I get round to debugging the locale breakage. ] ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, "OMG poneys!" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
